Maps doesn't show the current location anymore

Question

I started developing an app using google maps and it worked just fine. The map showed the current device location. Then I tried changing the map type and it worked...kinda.. The device's location doesn't show up anymore. So I deleted the line changing the map type. But the current location still isn't visible. Does anybody know why?

public class Map extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

    GoogleMap map;
    CameraPosition cameraPosition;

    private Location lastKnownLocation;


    private boolean locationPermissionGranted;
    private static final int PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION = 1;
    private static final String TAG = "--LOG--";


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.map);

        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

        getLocationPermission();




    }


    private void getLocationPermission(){

        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this.getApplicationContext(), android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
        { locationPermissionGranted = true;  }

        else {
            //Wenn die Berechtigung nicht erteilt wurde, wird nachgefragt
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
                    PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION); }


    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                           @NonNull String[] permissions,
                                           @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        locationPermissionGranted = false;

            return;
        }
        try {

                //wenn standortzugriff erlaubt ist, wird der standort  genutzt & angezeigt
                map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
